Multicast is one of those terms you'll probably only encounter if you're deep in learning about Internet engineering. It lets a single sender deliver data to multiple recipients at once. Given how much content we consume simultaneously (live sports, major events), you'd think

Nigeria is primed for a DePIN revolution with 107M internet users (45% internet penetration and growing), and more than 10% of their GDP generated by the information and comms sector. Scouting for some more coverage partners there. Reach out if you wanna do some work together.
